gather up a portion of the loose drapery,
make a graceful bow of themselves, and
then pursue their way in flying streamers.
In this case the ribbons are of pink.
This is an elaborate tea gown, which
costs $35 or $40, to say the least. But il
you have a genius for making garments
you can make lovely ones out Of pretty
cashmeres, with silk fronts covered with
white lace. Or in summer fabrics, the
soft challies, lawns. etc, you can, for very
little money, make some house gowns in
which you will look as dainty as a rOSe
and take no end of comfort. In these,
without corset, and with your feet in
pair of wigwam or mikadO slippers, you
will feel kindly toward all the world. You
can float into the parlor at a moments no
tice ito receive your most distinguished
caller, and know that you could not pos.
sibly wear a more becoming or appropriate
garment. II has a home air about il
that makes il peculiarly captivating.
That is probably because ii looks what
il is-eOmfOrtable, and the comfortable is
pleasing because il is resttul. You can
have a train to your tea gown, or you can
wear it short. 1t is in reality made like
the Mrs. Jenness Miller proper dress for
women" That is the original cut of it.
OF course you can beautify it as you please.
You can also make tea gowns with loose
hacks if you wan to, and nobody will call
YOU to accOunt-nOt even MrS. keepin-
style, who knows the correct thing in gar
ments, and who is pleased to have herself

though people of better taste smile in their
sleeves. No, she will not rap you for your
loose hacked tea gown, because she knows
il is allowable" That's her particular
word as applied to clothes. She is under
the despOtic dominion OF they" What
they are wearing is of mighty moment
to her.
If You possibly can avoid it never wear
your street gowns in the house. A dress
soOn loses its freshness if worn about the
house. Spots begin to deface it, and hate
full little streaks, that come from nobody
know where, will begin to mark it here
and there. You will he astOunded how
fresh a street gown will look at the end of
a season if you only put it OIL when you
90 out and take it of when you come in.
But don't SLOUGH around the house in any
shape. Have some pretty tea gowns or
other form Of house gowns which you can
literally slam around in, and will yet
look well. Look pretty about the house if
you never look so any place else. Give
the members of your family rs little
chance as possible to recall you to mind in
some frowsy old thing. fit be only a
gown of calico let it be fresh, pretty and
sweet. Rest yourself in loose garments
whenever you can. You will feel all the
better for it when you do put on your cor
sets.

Now is surely the time to buy and wear
wash goods. Never were they so pretty;
never were they so cheap.
at is n shame,n said a young lady who
was with me in q magnificent store the
other day, ''for such lovely, lovely goods
to lie on the shelves when such a little
bat of money would buy them, and when
so many young women need them, and,
more than all, which they make up so
stylishly." Tufted ginghams, thin, deli
French ginghams, that look like silk,
hatistes, lawns. linens-every con-
ceivable fabric lieth at hand. Silk and
and velvet are the popular trimmings for
ginghams, seersuckers and all the thickest
cotton materials this summer. Silk
on the skirt silk puffs
on the sleeves, loose silk fronts
on the waist are all in order. Vel
vet is used more sparingly, because il is
heavier and less Of it is required. Perhaps
you have An old silk of Just the harmonic
OF contrasting color for our new ging-
1t Is economy to take the best of it
and beautify your gingham with it since
one stylish and seasOnable dress is better
than two not quite up to the mark. What
ever you do don't get q lot Of half worn
dresses on hand. Get appropriate things,
and then 90 to work sud wear them out.
Don't get one gown and then decide that
i is too good for this or that occasion, and
yOu must have q cheaper one to save that
,ne. No, don't do that If you get
something for summer put it on, and
old fashioned ~parlance, get the
good Of it" / am an advocate Of
resb clothes and few of them. Don't
.hink, either, that you are not dressed un-
ess you have on silk. That is 3 servants
dea. The lady knows better. She knows
hat a graceful garment of wash fabric Is
ust now, tor outdoor occasions much more
appropriate than silk. Silk belongs in the
house, either in the evening on great Occa-
ions, or in easy garments at home infOr-
nally. To be sur you can wear silk on
occasions if you want to, and no
'Ody viii guy you; but you can be charm
ngly clad in other fabrics. Surahs, being
DOL, are always much worn by American
aides In summer, out As well as In, but
hey are considered no better than many
mother thing. Some Of the very fashion
bile ladies who were on the coaches on the
annual coaching day wore ginghams, vet
hat Is an occasion when they are supposed
o be well dressed.
Again, don't wear siIken, beaded, lace
